THE PECULIAR MAN

One day, John and Jack were going back to home from their school through the dense forest that came in their way. Suddenly, a bear appeared and started to growl. It was as big as twice a car. It had big claws and a powerful growl.

The two friends got scared, they had seen a bear that too as big as that for the first time in their life. They clutched each other tightly, knowing that they could face death any time. After examining the two friends from a distance for some time, the bear started growling fiercly and running towards them. They snapped their eyes shut and were ready to face death when suddenly, an old man came running through the dense out of nowhere and stood before them and pointed his walking stick towards the angry bear. Surprisingly, the bear stopped and stood one feet before the old man and calmed down. The old man patted the bear , whispered in its year and sent it away. 

John and Jack gave a sigh of relief . The old man told them to stay cautious in this dense forest . He said, "I know how to calm these beautiful creations of god." He said this and went away. The two friends thanked the old man and returned to their homes.

The next afternoon, John and Jack were returning to their homes through the same route again, this time carrying a stick to keep wild animals away.

Suddenly, they saw a shadow pass by through the trees. They ran after it and saw the same old man who saved them a day before, riding on a cloud through the forest; but before they could say anything the man disappeared.

That night , both the friends had the same dream. They saw the old man standing on a cloud. He said "Never wait for a miracle to happen or an angel to appear. Help yourself." Then he snapped his fingers and disappeared while saying, " I was a miracle, I was an angel ."
